No one joins my "social club" bookmarked races or deathmatches

[JojjeXX]

Anyone else have the same problem? I host a race or deathmatch and no one seems to join. Anyone have any idea why? I cant join others either. Just rockstar created ones...?

Players are too busy getting hacked money/ranks and killing each other with glitched tanks and god mode.

 

R* is too busy making christmas hats and clothes and then taking the clothing back a few days later.

Nobody joins because Rockstar screwed this game with a pvp open world. Everyone has problems getting people into their missions/races/creations. It's because there is no grouping system in place. You should be able to put your creations in a qeue that looks for other players, matches you all up, and creates a playlist from each players creations. The biggest problem is the pvp free roam. The free roam needs to be co-op with no killing each other. they just need to add more to do in free roam, like dynamic events that pull everyone together. As long as free roam is pvp, this game online will die. It's the reason why the online versions of GTA have never taken off. The free roam kills it. If nobody can kill each other in free roam, they would all be joining races, deathmatches, captures, and putting their creations into a playlist. It would totally change this game online and give it a chance at being one of the better online games ever on consoles.

Yeah probably.

[whitebic]

missions/races/jobs are a waste of time and user created content sucks anyways.

 

get a tank and start greifing way more satisfaction than doing stupid missions/races.

[RealHoosier07]

The 2nd thing they screwed up on was not having this game for the next gen consoles. This game came out just a month or two before the PS4 and Xbox One, but isn't on either console???? WTF?! I can't believe this game isn't on next gen! They could have done so much more and the game would run so much better had they done that. Like I said, I wish I could smack them all in the face and tell them to wake up, the pvp free roam days are over. It's not working anymore, especially when you're putting tons of things in the game that are designed for co-operative play.

 

The open world needs to be a place that brings people together to play, not shoot each other in the face. If you want to shoot someone in the face, you can play deathmatches, versus missions, and capture mode. Capture mode should have been something that grabbed people's attention, but it didn't. WHY? Because everyone is in free roam killing each other, griefing each other, hacking the game and giving people money, tank griefers abound. It's ridiculous what this game has become. Rockstar is killing what could be a great game. No killing in free roam is the only answer now.

Why play a player created whatever and not get money or rp? Ive been told you dont get anything untill rockstar approves it.

You just aren't playing with the right people. I have played some great player created deathmatches and races. I myself have created some unique and different deathmatch modes. One for 4-8 players called Attack -n- Defend: WMD.

 

I created a melee deathmatch called Mowdown Showdown. It's quite different than most you see. There is a pit seperated into 3 sections. Different weapons in each section. All of them are melee, just different type. Everyone starts the match with just bare fists. Heres the kicker. The ONLY way into the pit is with one of the two lawnmowers located close by. You must fight for the lawnmowers, drive it to the edge of the pit wall, and use it as a ladder to get you over the pit wall and into maybe a ball bat, or a crowbar, or a knife. One pit has two weapons.

 

The walls are impossible to get over unless you use the lawnmower to climb over it. It's a really cool map that everyone seems to like.

No killing in free roam is never going to happen in my opinion, it goes against the whole ethos of gta. Players generally want to cause mayhem in gta being lone rangers, so there would be resistance. However, there is, what I believe to be a compromise. Consider a hardcore mode lobby, no radar, no passive mode, buffed police.

[B3astGTS]

It's seems to be a matchmaking thing. I host my custom races and rarely get more than 4 people. My friend hosts my custom races and averages at least 8 people and has gotten a full room several times.

 

Another issue is that there aren't race and dm queues for created content. If they added those in that'd help a bit.

[JohnTaper]

Get a crew or get in one. People are afraid of change.

[GTALegion]

I usually just reset the timer once or twice and that's enough to get a half-full to full lobby usually.

I also think that the number of likes/plays your jobs have play some part in it. I have no trouble getting people into the games I have that have over 40 or so likes/plays. The ones that have around 10-25 seem to take a bit longer to fill up.

Then you've been told wrong. Player created races pay as well or better than r* content. I assume death matches do too.

 

Get amongst it fella!

I learned quickly that most player created content sucks. For example I joined a race that was 12 miles of highway with wrecked busses placed randomly... Of course the guy who made the race and hosted the lobby knew where the obstacles were, I came in second and the rest of the suckers he tricked into joining didn't finish.

Ha, what dork created that race? I tried one I found here. His description made it sound so cool as you go off road up mt chiliad till you have to make a leap of faith. He didn't give the right angle to get any speed on the broken ramp for any kind of jump. All you do is go crashing down the mountain for over two minutes then drive your POS for another mile. I gave him a c+.
